Victorian London Cemeteries

This is an excellent article on the cemeteries that existed in Victorian London. It’s always a problem finding out where your London ancestors got to rest their bones as many of the churchyards had closed well before the 1855 act closing them all. The chances are that they were buried in one of the large cemeteries that ring London such as Highgate, Kensal Green or Abney Park.

About Me

History, particularly Family History is my passion. I have worked in libraries & archives, I teach family history, conduct workshops and give genealogy presentations. It seemed a shame to have all this knowledge & experience and not share it with others, so this website was born.
